Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.75 cup Sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.75 cup Orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons Water (for thinning marmalade glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch bundt pan or a 9x13-inch baking pan. Lightly flour the pan to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves. Set aside.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the honey, vegetable oil, sugar, and brown sugar, mixing until smooth and well incorporated.
Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, alternating with the orange juice. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Mix in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to ensure consistent baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the marmalade glaze by gently heating the orange marmalade and water in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the mixture is thin and pourable.
Once the cake is out of the oven, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
With a pastry brush or spoon, generously spread the warm marmalade glaze over the cake while it’s still slightly warm.
Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Marmalade N Spice Honey Cake with a hot cup of tea or coffee!
